Why do so many Tolkien-esque fantasy anime use RPG mechanics as a part of the actual world anyway?

I feel like that Adventures' Guild where the main characters get quests from could be from any 50 fantasy anime.

Tolkienesque fantasy is expressly about copying the same familiar elements over and over.

Nah, I'm sticking with it mostly because it's rather funny and well-animated and because it seems like a rather good-natured sort of power fantasy. Less "what if you were the ultimate badass" and more "what if you had the ability to see lots of cool places and help lots of cool people."

I doubt any of them are cool, especially the slime that turns into a little girl.

I thought that the words "hardcore lolicon" in the show's synopsis would have been enough for anyone to deem it creepy.

Nikaido will spent most of the time in chibi-mode, except in close up where he becomes horribly naturalistic lizard monster.
